Yes, we have that too (even when on flying club sites), but only for over 250g models/drones. There was a fuss when it was first set up, but to be honest it's a pretty negligible effort increase. People have rarely been allowed to fly model aeroplanes in public parks, so I fail to see why drone flyers should assume they are somehow different.
Also worth remembering that (in the UK) the rules are only seriously strict for a drone/model which has a camera*. Those without a camera operate under much fewer constraints.

* Any sort of camera - stills or video, streaming or just recording to on-board storage, even if it's just part of an FPV system with no intent or capability to record the images. The CAP treats them all the same.
